Vote for the 14th! 8)

Sadly, I will no longer be a Brooklynian by then. Sad considering that's the first time I met a lot of you.

I can do any day as well.

Can I sit on your knee and tell you want I want for Christmas?

I won't vote.... just tell me when and where and I'll do my best to turn up.

What?? You're leaving this blessed borough??? Well, I think you should do your darnest (is that really a word??!) to make it! You've been such an active - and hilarious poster, you deserve it to yourself to celebrate the season with your former neighbors!

It don't matter where you move , you're still a Brooklynian member.

You're in for life!

You touched me! Your BFF is my witness!

Yes, Nomad, I'm leaving the BK. Too sweet a deal to pass up, really.

"There's Christmas and there's Channuka (sp?) and there's Festivus for the rest of us"
Bring it on. I will be looking forward to the feats of strength !
Ya want a piece of me?
Any day is fine, I will be there.

^ I am officially impressed with and scared of Em now :-)

Uh uh! You was the one all up on this , rubbing up on my shoulder purring like a kitty cat.

I'm free now....meow , baby.

Em, you undressed me with your eyes. With YOUR EYES!

Trust me Em, they always know. Often the first clue that they know is that they start buttoning the top buttons on their blouse. As you get older you'll learn to be more discreet.

but back to the topic at hand....

I hereby volunteer to build a replacement FESTIVUS POLE!

...if I have enough time, I'll router "Brooklynian" in script on the base that keeps it up. Mougar will spell check for me.

so far, the design will include the following:
1. Folks will be able to sign the pole with a permanent marker.
2. The pole will likely be made from lumber native to Prospect Heights (aka stuff Dude and I find on walks)

Additional ideas are welcome.

P.S. I am not storing this thing until next year. I say we leave it at Sharlene's unless somone wants it.

a. If Dude and I find a virgin being thrown out on trash day, we will have nothing to do with her/him.

b. If we find an aluminum pole, we'll see if it is worth dragging home.

Otherwise, it is likely to be a column made of plywood, mounted on a wood base with casters. I'm only willing to spend money on this adventure if I get to raise it back by charging people $2 each to sign it.

Plus, the environmentalist in me says scrap wood is the way to go.

As per discussion on the Carnivore thread, the wood pole will now be either painted with Aluminum colored radiator paint, or covered in Aluminum foil.

Personally, I'm leaning toward paint because I think marker will adhere to it better.

...having a wood pole will allow people to adhere things like bacon pictures, etc. with thumb tacks and/or staple guns.

The pole must be UNADORNED! :evil:
